I had a quote from RRT in my area saying last night they would only charge me $1,600 for the swap and this morning they called me back saying that the abs has to be swapped as well as some other parts so it will run me about 40 hours=$4000. I guess ill go with the ESS supercharger. Does anyone know the difference between a Vishnu PreCEDE V3.0 vs. a 530i ESS Twinscrew Supercharger? Thanks
Vishnu V3 with Turbo back exhaust will push likely over 400whp and 400wtq or damn near close to that. Thats almost M5 power. The ESS gets you like 350 crank hp

The ebay listing says that the engine cover does not come with the car so I am guessing that is how it looks without an engine cover or maybe its just a scam as you said..have no clue

If you're going to get something - get the ESS stage 1, your tranny will thank you, we don't have the M5 tranny so 400HP will kill it and it definitely won't be warrantied.
